Frame-Up: Prologue
It was a dark, stormy night. NCIS Director Tiffany Sutton was at home reading in her upstairs bedroom; when the sound of glass shattering sounded from downstairs. It was accompanied soon after by the sound of something breaking on the tile floor. She figured it came from the kitchen, since there was a sliding glass door in that room of the house. Tiffany grabbed her six hour and headed down to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the first thing she noticed was a pile of broken glass inside by the fragmented sliding door. As she looked around, she noticed there were also broken china shards on the floor. She knew it was her china because of the flowery design on some of the pieces. Seeing the shattered china reminded her of the 40 caliber pistol she kept in the same drawer. As she walked over to the drawer, there were two major things that she noticed:
1.) Blood, it seemed to begin near the door and trail to the drawer handle.
2.) A LOT of broken china.
Tiffany started to notice an accumulation of blood as she got closer to the drawer the china and gun were kept in. She knew the gun wouldn't be inside, even before she opened the drawer to check. Tiffany's suspicions were correct. When she discovered that the gun was indeed missing, she decided that she could wait until the morning before reporting the break-in. Little did she know how dearly that decision would cost her in the near future. It did, however, occur to her that her house was probably under surveillance. It had only been a few months since the gun was put into that drawer. Coming out once in a blue moon to be cleaned and examined for possible damage. She'd be sure to mention it tomorrow.
Half an hour later, as Tiffany was drifting asleep, she heard it. The gunshot.
